[00:00.00] Houston, the MESA came down all right. [00:03.80] (This is) Houston. Roger. We copy. Standing by for your TV. [00:21.34] Houston, this is Neil. Radio check. [00:24.25] Neil, this is Houston. Loud and clear. Break. Break. [00:27.26] Buzz, this is Houston. Radio check, and verify TV circuit breaker in. [00:35.22] Roger, TV circuit breaker's in. And read you loud and clear. [00:41.82] Roger. [00:45.15] And we're getting a picture on the TV. [00:50.13] You got a good picture, huh? [00:52.40] There's a great deal of contrast in it; and currently it's upside-down on our monitor, but we can make out a fair amount of detail. [01:09.20] Okay. Will you verify the position - the opening - I ought to have on the (16 mm movie) camera? [01:15.90] Stand by. [01:29.76] Okay. Neil, we can see you (on the TV) coming down the ladder now. [01:40.23] Okay. I just checked getting back up to that first step, Buzz. [01:44.76] It's...The strut isn't collapsed too far, but it's adequate to get back up. [01:51.42] Roger. We copy. [01:52.54] Takes a pretty good little jump (to get back up to the first rung). [02:02.27] Buzz, this is Houston. F/2 (and)... [02:04.40] Okay, I'm at the... [02:05.70] ...1/160th second for shadow photography on the sequence camera. [02:12.24] Okay. [02:14.65] I'm at the foot of the ladder. [02:16.82] The LM footpads are only depressed in the surface about 1 or 2 inches, although the surface appears to be very, very fine grained, as you get close to it. [02:33.80] It's almost like a powder. (The) ground mass is very fine. [02:50.73] Okay. I'm going to step off the LM now. [03:01.75] That's one small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind. [03:16.50] Yes, the surface is fine and powdery. [03:21.00] I can kick it up loosely with my toe. [03:25.65] It does adhere in fine layers, like powdered charcoal, to the sole and sides of my boots.
